Wild bee data · Parcel level · Biodiversity & pollution

BeeOtel

Wild bees as natural bioindicators. Assess plant biodiversity, pollinator presence and agricultural or industrial pollutants at parcel level — across 40 hectares (100 acres), with a patented nature-based device that requires no sensor infrastructure and no specialist intervention.

Why BeeOtel

Four reasons it creates business value.

  • Assess site-level biodiversity and pollution risks

    Detect local pollution pressure, biodiversity and pollination gaps or invasive species on your parcels — with ground-truth data that complements remote sensing and landscape-level monitoring.

  • Deploy standardized monitoring across all your sites

    The BeeOtel is easy to install, replicable and cost-effective. Deploy the same device and protocol across dozens or hundreds of sites to enable cross-site comparison, targeted actions and portfolio-level reporting.

  • Evidence absence of negative impact — at parcel level

    Demonstrate to regulators, investors and local communities that your site-level activities are not creating adverse pressure on surrounding pollinators and plant ecosystems — with independent, scientifically validated data.

  • Engage stakeholders through participatory science

    Employees, farmers or local communities take part in photo monitoring and data collection. The BeeOtel turns environmental monitoring into a visible, engaging commitment that builds trust and awareness.

What you get

Concrete outputs you can act on.

Data

Reporting & dashboards

  • Full PDF monitoring report with analysis, interpretation and year-on-year comparison
  • Online dashboard via BeeOapps: track KPIs over time, compare sites, export data
  • Occupancy rate trends and correlation with biodiversity and pollution indicators
  • CSRD / TNFD / SBTN aligned data export for regulatory disclosure
  • Benchmark across sites using the same standardized protocol

Action plan

  • Prioritized on-site recommendations from our biodiversity experts, based on monitoring findings
  • Habitat improvement proposals: plant species to introduce, pollinator-friendly management practices
  • Pollution reduction pathways based on source identification
  • Stakeholder engagement plan: communication materials for employees, farmers, regulators or citizens
  • Follow-up monitoring plan to track impact of actions over time

The process

Simple. Replicable. Science-based.

  1. Install the BeeOtel

    A wild bee hotel with standardized nesting tubes of different diameters is placed on or near your site. Each tube targets specific wild bee species groups. Installation takes minutes — no specialist required.

  2. Photo monitoring — participatory science

    Observers regularly photograph the BeeOtel using our BeeOtel app. Wild bees seal tubes after nesting with their own materials, allowing us to calculate occupancy rate and identify species groups — remotely and non-intrusively.

  3. Pollen collection & lab analysis

    Pollen is collected seasonally and analysed. DNA analysis identifies plant species, while chemical screening detects 516 pesticides, heavy metals and other pollutants.

  4. Report & action plan

    You receive your report, an access to the platform and a prioritized action plan from our expert team — including recommendations to enhance biodiversity and reduce pollution.

Who uses BeeOtel

Designed for organizations monitoring multiple sites or parcels.

  • Agri-food & Regenerative agriculture

Go further — optional add-ons

Complement your BeeOtel monitoring with additional analyses.

  • Soil analysis

    Quantification of pesticide and heavy metal concentrations in soil, plus DNA analysis of soil biodiversity providing valuable insights on soil functionality (retention, erosion, carbon sequestration,...).

  • Additional plant diversity analysis (eDNA)

    DNA analysis of plant biodiversity collected in the field around the BeeOtel — providing data on plant richness, habitats, protected species and invasive species.

  • Air quality monitoring

    Installation of a sensor for continuous measurement of temperature, relative humidity and air pollution levels (NO₂, NH₃, PM2.5 and PM10). Results integrated in the annual report.
